Wolfsburg in the coaching crisis: Edin Terzic as a possible savior?

At VfL Wolfsburg the football world is turned upside down! Coach Paul Simonis has come under pressure, especially after a painful 2-3 defeat against Hoffenheim and the bitter elimination in the DFB Cup against Holstein Kiel. But while Simonis is currently still in the saddle, there are already initial discussions about potential successors. One name that is mentioned again and again is Edin Terzic, who previously worked successfully at Borussia Dortmund. Loud Football Europe There have already been personal contacts between Wolfsburg and the 42-year-old coach, who has been without a club since his departure in the summer of 2024.

The situation with the wolves could hardly be more critical. After nine Bundesliga games, Wolfsburg only has two wins, which leaves the team with a dangerously narrow gap of just two points to a possible relegation place. Sports director Sebastian Schindzielorz also confirmed the precarious situation in an interview and spoke of the need to use the positive and face the next challenge together. Next Friday there is an important away game at Werder Bremen – a landmark match for Simonis’ future.

Edin Terzic: A hot potato

The rumors about Terzic as Simonis' successor are increasing. Loud Focus The change of coach could possibly only take place after the upcoming international break. But Bruno Labbadia is also mentioned as a possible candidate. Terzic has turned down several offers in the past, including from well-known clubs such as Juventus Turin and AS Monaco. Now he seems ready to take a new step in the Bundesliga.

The current situation at Wolfsburg is also tense for the club management and the sports director, Peter Christiansen. There are considerations about reshuffling the management team, with names like Sven Mislintat and Fabian Wohlgemuth being mentioned. The pressure is growing, not only on Simonis, but also on the club's decision-makers.

An uncertain fate

With the upcoming duel against Werder Bremen just around the corner, Simonis has to concentrate on his team as quickly as possible. A victory would be hugely important not only for morale but also for his own position. Wolfsburg is currently playing in the lower middle of the table, where the club's demands are clearly higher than the performances shown. The fans are hoping for rapid improvement, whether with Simonis or perhaps soon with a new coach like Terzic remains to be seen.

Wolfsburg urgently needs a good hand to get out of this critical situation. The upcoming home game will not only test Simonis' possibilities, but could also open the way for new impulses if the ripcord is pulled.
